I'm barely 8 days out and just on full liquids. Do you think I could kill my craving by putting a bit of BBQ Sauce (just a tad) to my cottage cheese?

Ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Lovingly,

I would say go for it! Be careful that the sauce isn't too thick! I had some wild cravings early post-op, it's normal! I even licked some doritos, and it did help with the cravings! Good luck, and I hope your cravings subside soon! In no time you'll be eating normal food again try to keep that in mind when the cravings hit! Keep us posted!

Isn't it funny how we need validation from others to do things! LOL

You 2 gave me the green light and now I'm going to try it!

I'll let you know how it goes!

This is funny.:angry: I licked some Doritos on my day of Clear Liquids the day before surgery. Yummmmmyyy! Right now, I'm craving a soda real bad! I'm thinking about putting some DDP in my mouth and spitting it out but I'm scared some will slide down my throat. I'm pretty sure I'll need an ambulance if that happens considering how little I can handle in my stomach right now. :001_wub:

Mary - what is DDP? You guys are so funny, licking foods - I hope you didn't put the Doritos back in the packet, lol!!

I was told by my French surgeon not to have just liquids, but to go straight to pur?es... My first hospital meal was a pea and vegetable Soup that the spoon stood up in, it was so thick! (I managed two teaspoons of it!)

DDP is Diet Dr Pepper.

My postop diet went to full liquids to pureed all by the end of the first week, so I think that did help cut down on a lot of craving issues for me. By the time I was able to eat stuff like scrambled eggs and oatmeal I fell almost like I was eating regular food.

And no, I didn't put the doritos back in the bag. :confused:

Just think by next 4th of July BBQ you will be wearing a nice small outfit looking great and able to eat regular food--just less of it. I know big events can be tough, but just think of all the events coming around again and you being thin and healthy :thumbup:

I'm still kind of craving my soda. I did finally drink some and spit it out. Then, I decided to try the thing with letting it go flat and then drinking it. Has anyone tried that?

I've seen it recommended in some of the surgeon's postop diet plans. Unfortunately, it is taking FOREVER for the soda to go flat. It's been in the fridge for like three days and still has little bubbles in it. I actually took a sip one day when I though the bubbles were gone and discovered later that there were still bubbles. It freaked me out but nothing happened. How long does it take for soda to go flat enough to drink?

You might want to let it sit out??

I've got some cottage cheese that I'll have for lunch tomorrow.

Is that all you have? cottage cheese?

LOL no cottage cheese wasn't the only thing I was having but the only food I could think of that I could add BBQ Sauce to during my Full liquid Stage (cottage cheese was allowed for me).

Lovingly,

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
